NRA's Disabled Shooting Services teamed up with the Washington, D.C.-based Paralyzed Veterans of America yesterday to welcome two wounded veterans to NRA Headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia. Andy MacDonald of Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) and Vanessa Warner of Disabled Shooting Services coordinated the day's activities.

Terry, a Marine veteran who is now in the Army Reserves, and Ryan, were treated to lunch before they toured the National Firearm Museum with senior curator Phil Schreier. The men then joined former Marine and NRA National Pistol Manager Brian Zins on the NRA Range to shoot a variety of pistols as well as and Andy's .308.

"It's always a pleasure to be able to partner with a group such as PVA," Warner said. "The day was a great one and we hope to continue to expose our nation's honored veterans to NRA programs in any way possible."
